Museum of the Iron Age

The Museum of the Iron Age tells the story of Danebury hill fort which lies to the south west of Andover. The hill fort was excavated by Professor Barry Cunliffe between 1969 and 1988 and is one of the best studied sites of the British Iron Age.

 

The museum uses real objects from Danebury alongside life size models, reconstructions and dioramas to bring the Iron Age to life. Stand alongside our fortified ramparts and imagine eating dinner around the cooking cauldron inside our roundhouse room.

 

Themes which are covered include; farming, religion, trade, crafts and warfare. As well as Danebury, there is also information and finds from other sites which help to tell the story of the Iron Age and Roman periods in north west Hampshire.
